I do have good reasons why I fell off the face of the earth, though. First off-- homeschooling. Even doing it only part-time has proved to be pretty time consuming. Probably because of the two little preschoolers that are constantly interrupting. I actually have this pretty funny little video of Gabriel reading with Hallie and Asher literally running in circles around the table yelling about something. Good times, people.
But probably more why I haven't blogged these last couple months...
I started feeling pretty sick around the first week of November.
Yep. Preggers.
Louis Baby #4 is on his/her way!
We are so, so, SO excited. The kids have been asking for another baby since around January 2014! We've been "trying" for #4 since Asher was around a year old, though I put trying in quotation marks because we weren't really actively mapping my cycle or anything.
We suffered a miscarriage in mid-February 2014, which was heartbreaking for both me and Drew. It was my third miscarriage and by far the latest one I had. The first two, I barely knew I was pregnant. This time, I was 8 weeks along and it was just horrible.
HOWEVER--
"Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning!" Psalm 30:5
I will be 16 weeks tomorrow (yay!), and hopefully past the worst of the morning all-day sickness and extreme fatigue. You guys. I was going to sleep at 9pm for a week or two. ME. 9PM! What?!
In some ways, the time has flown by. In other ways, I'm just like "ARGH, why do I have to wait until the end of February to find out this kid's gender?!" Hahaha.
Anyway, I'll leave you with some sonogram pictures. Here's our beloved #4 at 10 weeks.
Already with the cutest little profile! |
Waving to Mama and Dada! |
(Also coming soon -- fingers crossed -- is Hallie's birthday letter and the next part of Our Love Story!)
So happy to hear you're expecting #4...you're blessed!! Being sick all day though...not so much. I too had a miscarriage early on in my pregnancy prior to Tori. It appears that we're stackin' up the children both here on Earth & in Heaven! Heaven's going to be one HUGE family reunion!! :)
